K-The-I??? - Finger Painting

US MC Kiki Ceac ("k-the-i???" to his many admirers) returns with a single release from his critically acclaimed album, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Finger Painting demonstrates everything that's best about the record – a short, sharp shock of a tune produced by Thavius Beck (perhaps best known for his work with Saul Williams), this is punchy, epic d&b-influenced concept-psychedelia, Ceac threading his complex, clever, emotive lyrics over and through a variety of subjects, the whole packed into less than three minutes. To complete the package Thavius Beck has made an exclusive remix, a kind of rave anthem for the credit crunch generation, all pummeling keyboard lines and unbridled aggression.

"A wildstyle collision of science-fiction electronics and semi-industrial beats, interwoven with dense wordplay reminiscent of KRS-1." – Q, 4/5
"This album rewards as much as it refuses to compromise" – The Wire
